i just wired up my electric cutout (wired it to the cigarette lighter) and i hooked the cutout up to test it and make sure it works.... i can tell its getting power to it because i hear the cutout motor but the blade doesnt move....the motor tries to turn for just a second then quits.. did dmh send me a defective product or what??

i need some help asap on this if anybody has any ideas....

but i just tried it again and when i push the switch i can hear the motor and see the blade twitch a little like its trying to open but its like something is holding it back from opening.... is there any adjustments u have to do on it before using it or any screws u have to remove??

Your sure you have it wire right. Dont know how cut outs work but when is motor is wire in the oposite it trys to turn the oposite way. It might just be trying to close instead of opening.

I had the exact same problem. It turns out it was the flowtech cutout pipe, which has bad welds on the inside of it. This keeps the plate from opening, all I did was got a file and filed down all the welds on the inside of the pipe. This fixed the problem, I just wish they would have tested them in the pipe before sending them off.

Hope this helps

as far as i know its wired right.... i spliced into the orange and black wires from the back of the cigarette lighter...

and its not the cutout pipe blocking it because its not bolted up to the pipe yet, its not welded up yet i just had the cutout inside the car with me testing it out.... when i push the switch back and forth i tries to open and close but just for a split second... like something is holding it back.... seems like its the gears or something...
